<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="77" > grapefruits are male or female! </h1>
Autumn and winter, the weather is dry, grapefruit is rich in vitamin C, eat some grapefruit appropriately has a hydrating effect. But when it comes to picking grapefruit, there is a big doorway inside! How do you choose grapefruit? Talk about 6 practical tips, buy grapefruit is not difficult, each skin is thin and sweet.
In addition to the grapefruit in Bangkok, Thailand, other kinds of grapefruit (whether yellow or red or orange) can be selected in this way!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="80" >, buy big, not buy small</h1>
Unlike other fruits, grapefruit is not "post-ripe"! Fruits such as bananas, kiwis, and nanguo pears are picked before they are ripe for transportation or storage, and become softer and sweeter after a "post-ripening period" of 1 to 3 days.
Unlike grapefruit, if properly stored, the picked grapefruit can be stored for about 30 days and does not require a post-ripening period. Therefore, the grapefruit you buy is naturally ripe! The same variety of grapefruit, the larger the size, indicating that it absorbs more nutrients, such grapefruit natural maturity is high, the flesh is fuller, so to "buy big not buy small", choose a larger grapefruit.
Let's take a look at how to choose the "sweet grapefruit"? There are 2 ways to see the sweetness of grapefruit, the second and third points.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="84" > second, buy concave not buy convex</h1>
Teach you to see sweet grapefruit at a glance. We turn the grapefruit upside down and look at the "little dot" at the bottom of the grapefruit, if the small dot is recessed, then it is a sweet grapefruit; if the small dot is flat or raised, it means that the grapefruit tastes sour.
Why is it concave and convex and not sweet?
Obeying the laws of nature, plants bloom first and bear fruit later. The grapefruit gradually matures during the growth process, and the grapefruit flower gradually falls off, and the bottom of the grapefruit will naturally "sink" inward to help the grapefruit flower fall off. If the grapefruit flowers are picked before they fall off, the bottom of the grapefruit is either flat or raised. As a result, grapefruit with a sunken bottom is more ripe and sweeter.
Grapefruit flowers
In fact, there are many plants in nature that are like this! For example: apples, oranges, watermelons, etc., are all sunken at the bottom and sweeter! Let's look at the third point.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="89" > third, buy yellow and not buy green</h1>
The same grapefruit tree, the more it grows, the sweeter it gets. Whether it is a cherry tree, an apple tree or an almond tree, the closer to the sun the fruit is subjected to photosynthesis, the more beautiful the color of the fruit and the sweeter it is to eat.
The same goes for yuzu. The longer the light time received, the more yellow the color, the higher the sweetness; and the grapefruit that grows in the shade of the tree, due to insufficient light time, the epidermis is blue, green, and the color is uneven, a piece of green and yellow grapefruit you do not buy, it is low in sweetness, and it is sour to eat. (Except Thai grapefruit)
I don't know if you have encountered such a problem: grapefruit bought home and broken open, the flesh is dry, and the mouth is "pricked" when eating! This is caused by insufficient moisture, let's talk about how to choose a large grapefruit with a full juice?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="93" >4, buy heavy not buy light</h1>
There are prerequisites for this to be used well!
When choosing a similarly sized grapefruit of equal maturity, we can take the grapefruit in our hands and weigh it. The heavier it feels, the higher its freshness, the more moisture it is, and the more juicy it is! The light feel shows that it has been picked for too long, the water loss is serious, and the flesh inside is dry.
I hope you haven't bought a grapefruit like this, "The skin of the grapefruit is too thick, and the flesh is as big as an apple!" "I've bought it (see picture). How to choose a "thin-skinned and meaty" grapefruit? Remember the fifth point.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="97" > five, buy short and not buy long</h1>
The more rounded the grapefruit, the thinner the skin. Our common grapefruit has 2 shapes, one is spherical and the other is pear-shaped.
Grapefruit is a fruit that grows first the skin and then the pulp. Therefore, when the fruit first came into fruit, the shape of the grapefruit was similar, like a "duck pear" hanging on the tree, and later as the flesh gradually expanded and became larger, the grapefruit gradually became round, and the top slowly shortened. The larger the flesh, the larger the grapefruit skin is propped up, the shorter the top, and the more rounded the grapefruit.
Therefore, the shorter the top of the grapefruit, the thinner the skin! To buy short, not to buy long. However, in order to facilitate the transportation and storage of fruit wholesalers, today's fruit wholesalers will put paper bags on the grapefruit, so there is no way to see the size and bump! How can this be done?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="101" > six, buy hard not buy soft</h1>
This trick can help you "choose a good grapefruit through a paper bag"! We take the grapefruit in our hands, gently press with our hands, the place of pressing is also exquisite, to press the middle part of the grapefruit, this separated flesh is not far away, more "fair"!
Press down with your hand, if you can't press or press a relatively firm, hard state, it means that the grapefruit has a thin skin and a tight flesh, and can be purchased; if you press it gently, you can obviously feel the rebound and very soft, indicating that it has a thick skin and a smaller flesh.
I summarized these 6 points into a picture that you can save and take out when you buy grapefruit. Buy it a few times and remember!
